A family business that grew into a group.

Bismillah Group Pty Ltd began in 2013 as a small facility services company. Thirteen years later it runs travel, manpower and contracting operations from Riyadh, with offices in Australia and Bangladesh.

Built job by job, not by acquisition.

The company was founded in Sydney in 2013, cleaning and maintaining commercial buildings. The work was unglamorous and the standard was simple: turn up, finish properly, and be reachable afterwards. Clients started asking for more, first the staff to do the work, then the trades to build it.

By 2016 we were recruiting directly from Bangladesh instead of hiring through agencies, which is still how we staff every contract today. A construction and property maintenance arm followed in 2019.

In 2022 the group registered operations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where the same three capabilities, travel, people and building, were needed by the same kind of client. The Riyadh head office opened in 2024, and with it a licensed Hajj and Umrah travel division serving pilgrims from South Asia, Australia and the Gulf.
